This reminds me in the 90's when users in the UK couldn't sign up for AOL if they lived in the naughty worded counties like Essex or Sussex. How times have clearly not changed.

Somewhere inside Meta:

Product Owner: β€œYeahhhh, so we apparently made it impossible to find people named Molly.”

Tech Lead: β€œI TOLD YOU!!!”

@Gargron Didn’t realize you were a KX person! First camera I got when I was 11, will also be my last film camera :) Love the look of that nifty 50

@Gargron ah, very cool picture. I didn’t know you are into analog photography. I think I shall start sharing my film photos here on Mastodon as well. Hold my beer =)

@Gargron I’m new to Mastodon and Pixelfed. I assume you created this post on Pixelfed, right? How did you manage to display it on Mastodon? I understand there is the same protocol under the hood. However, this is what confusing: I can’t see my Pixelfed post on Mastodon and I can’t see my comment to this post (from Mastodon) on Pixelfed. I thought they all be synced. I Always wanted to find a replacement for instagram, this is a good chance. Thank you.

The rise of Mastodon has made me so much more aware of government services requiring us to use private companies’ systems to communicate with them and access services.

Sitting on a Dutch train just now I was shown on a screen β€œfeeling unsafe in the train? Contact us via WhatsApp”.

What if I don’t use WhatsApp? (I do, but I wish I didn’t have to) I’m forced to share my data with Meta to use it.

Public systems should not require use of private services.

@Brendanjones i still love the confused look on people’s faces when i say β€œβ€¦ but i’m not on Facebook…”

@Brendanjones agree but hardly unprecedented. Think telephones.

Π¨ΡƒΡ€ΠΎ

What is the alternative though? I mean for this specific "feeling unsafe in the train" case?

When you need to reach wide audience and especially people who might be contacting you one and only time you have to use something popular already.

Hey, go cancel that streaming subscription you’re not using. Go on, cancel it. Do it right now.

It’s trivial to resubscribe when you need to. You don’t need it right now. Cancel it.

@drahardja my personal way of doing subscriptions: I cancel them just after signing up.
It's a moment I'm interacting with it anyway, I won't forget it in the future, and even if I notice it shortly after it ran out I already saved a day or two.

J.H.Noyes

@drahardja

Fuck that. Don't resubscribe. They should pay you to watch their drivel. But since they won't the least you can do is turn on your VPN and torrent like it's 2009.

Never had any streaming subscriptions in my entire life 😎
Is it, like, the same as piracy, but they also take money from your account every month and limit what you can do with the content?

Elon #Musk has just called himself β€œDark Maga” during a rally with #Trump. How can science or European government institutions still justify being active on X, a de-facto right-wing extremist propaganda platform?

A mathematician uses first person plural in proofs to suggest to the reader that they are on a journey together. This is not dissimilar to Virgil guiding Dante through the Inferno.

@ProfKinyon Did you the know of the Poul Anderson Novel 'Operation Chaos' in which the protagonists are led through a literal non-Euclidean version of hell by the spirits of the mathematicians Bolyai and Lobachevsky?

Mike

@ProfKinyon

Huh, I always thought of this usage of "we" being akin to how "you" and "they" can be either singular or plural, while I, he, she, it, and thou are strictly singular.

@ProfKinyon What are you saying about my proofs?

Every once in a while, I catch Bruno chilling next to his portrait, but every time I reach for my phone he splits. Today he decided to stick around long enough to get this.

The portrait was finger painted in ink by my daughter for a school art project.

China targeted and might have held for months access to the infrastructure used to do wiretaps on the AT&T and Verizon networks.

This is a huge "told you so" moment for the cryptographic community that has been saying that such infrastructure does present a huge risk to national security. China reportedly used this capability for intelligence collection, obviously without a warrant ...

@fj There don't seem to be any articles on this outside the WSJ (yet?), and the lead paragraphs visible over the paywall are heavily caveated with "potentially" and "might" so it is still unclear what was actually breached. This could be something serious, or it could just be Chinese teen hackers able to submit unverified wiretap requests for "Deez Nutz" which are ignored. It is currently the silly season for generating political drama, so use appropriate skepticism until more details emerge.

@fj this whole incident just makes it obvious why those systems should not exist in the first place.

@Gargron
On defunct hard drive, I had a picture of my friend Reggie Young taking a picture of Paul McCarthy taking a picture of Reggie. I think the picture was taken by Linda McCarthy. So, it wasn't taken when Reggie was opening for the Beatles as part of the Bill Black Combo in 1964.
I've searched the web a couple of times and never found it.
